“On December 13th through 15th, 2024, I led a wonderful "Holiday Getaway Stress Relief Retreat" at Pine Lake Lodge with five amazing guests and myself! When we arrived, the Pine Lake Lodge was decorated with wonderful holiday lights and magnificent decorations that made us feel at home during the holiday season. It was like walking into a Winter Wonderland! Thanks to Kim!! Dan's wife. Just perfect for our get away during the holidays!

My name is Gi Indoccio; the owner of Be Mindful with Gi Wellness Center On-line and in person courses and classes. Please visit my website at BeMindfulWithGi.com
I also lead and host Mindfulness and Wellness retreats in the United States and Costa Rica. I teach In person classes at Flote Wellness Center in Hampton, NH in Mindfulness Based-Stress Reduction, (MBSR) 8-week course, Vision Board workshops, Attachment Relationship Theory Life Coaching, and NVC Compassionate Communication, Breathwork, and all levels of Reiki training, I, II & III, including Reiki Master Teacher Training (a year long apprenticeship program).

Having the very first wellness retreat at Pine Lake Lodge in Caroga, New York was an honor and such a pleasure!

Each and every guest was extremely pleased with their very spacious rooms, comfortable beds and the cleanliness of the entire lodge, including the bathrooms and the lovely captivating living area and the fun pool table room! Yes we even played pool on our mindfulness retreat. :)

I myself, enjoyed some meditative time in the wee 3 am hours of the morning in the comfy, cozy living room with the beautiful illuminated Christmas tree with its lights and lovely ornaments, as I pondered life and had some truly precious moments of quiet time in the silence of the glowing beams of hope on the tree. This honestly was an incredibly peaceful time of reflection for me.

We enjoyed the tremendous dining room table for 20 people, that sat us easily, and also allowed us to do our journaling and creative work making memorable votive candles with decoupage during the mindfulness retreat in such an amazing magical atmosphere. Along with the three season huge porch next to the humongous bar; we enjoyed so many wonderful memories!
We did entertain ourselves in the bar area for some tranquil Reiki Energy sessions and at night a little prosecco toast to commemorate the beginning of our journey to release stress during the holiday season!

I thoroughly enjoyed the time at the PLL, as did all of my guests. I was able to share with them a beautiful swag bag full of fantastic goodies. As a gift to them for joining me, they received a silk lavender eye pillow and beautiful amethyst heart for them to carry in their pocket, along with some essential oil scented hand cream and lip balm, and a beautiful leather bound journal with a positive saying on it and a pen for them to chronicle their journey while at the Pine Lake Lodge during the retreat and long after.

Pine Lake Lodge held the perfect setting for this holiday getaway! My only regret... is that it was too short of time and I wish we would have stayed for a total of four nights; because two nights was not enough.

Check in and check out we're very easily accomplished and anything we needed, the hosts, Jeff and Dan were able to accommodate us with. It was lovely to meet Dan's wife, Kim, as she also joined us in the enchanted winter Wonderland living room for a little fun holiday meet and greet!

As a Mindfulness, Reiki and Well-Being retreat leader, I would highly recommend Pine Lake Lodge in Caroga, NY for any type of yoga, creative, or any spiritual wellness retreat!

“The nice lady made a mistake with the ice cream but I don’t care. I can barely eat their small. She gave me a gift card as a refund. She admitted to giving the wrong ice cream but I didn’t want her to waste it. Wonderful little place in Johnstown and great customer service.

“Mu first time there was today. I wish they had a highchair. My iced latte was great. The atmosphere was very nice in there. I liked that they had tables and chairs and couches. But with no highchair for my little girl it was tough to get to really relax and enjoy myself as I was fighting with her and my drink”

“It was awesome to step back in time at this Dinner , if you ever in this area and want real food
Made in front of you ? This is the spot! Richard and Cortney are the best!!! They still have a land line telephone!”

“Went here on a Saturday night and it was busy. They have a nice menu, and the waitress reads the specials to you. I was torn between ordering baby back ribs, stuffed shells with sausage or their pork chop special which was sage and Parmesan crusted. My partner and I both ordered the pork chop.
Originally we were going to do an app of their breaded mushrooms, but when the waitress reads that today’s soup with cream of mushroom we both decided we would do that as an appetizer instead.
However these dinners come fully loaded. With your dinner plate, you get bread, soup, salad AND potato and then your meal.
We ate the cream of mushroom soup and it was tasty. Had large slices of mushrooms. The fresh bread was soft. The salad was small but perfect size for the amount of food you were getting. When dinner was plated it included TWO pork chops with your baked potato or steak fries and apple sauce. The pork chop was sooo juicy and tasty. Baked potato was normal and the steak fries were the same. Fries needed seasoning. But overall it was good. We ordered a slice of the coconut cream pie to share and it was huge but also very good.
Would 100% return. Prices fair!”

“The Hot Dog Hut catering service in Johnstown, NY is top-notch from start to finish. I have used them numerous times and the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious with all the fixings, tasty sides, and plenty of options to please everyone. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. Everything was set up beautifully and served right on time. On my last event the attendees couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. If you want stress-free catering with fantastic flavor, the Hot Dog Hut is the way to go!”

“I asked for recommendations for a good bakery in gloversville ...i wanted mom's baked good and thats what I got!!! I wanted quality ingedients made with love and the want for repeat customers not the "chain" store taste ive come to hate. I actually love to bake & spent lots time in the kitchen learning from my mom but also am lazy these day so this bakery did my work for me. I CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR BAKED GOOD....OUTSTANDING!!!! And the yound lady whom waited on me I'm assuming was an owner / family...very courteous and patient as I have health issues which brought me to the area...she took her time,made me feel like family ....it was old school service at its best that you don't see anymore,she didn't act like it was a chore to do here job anotherwards ....i have an 85 yr old dad that lives with me since mom passed ...he doesn't ask for much but enjoys a canoli once in a while ...well they delivered& then some...he loved it. went in their store for those and came out with 3 boxes of goods and a bag and so far nothing has disappointed...in fact it has far exceeded our expectations. ! thank you for your amazing bakery & service. we will be back!!!!
